calm under the name OF its governor.

realm under the name OF its governor.
1t is beyond ienial--or even an at
tempt at denIal-that the governor and
his associates sought to dictate the man
agement Of the ass lum and failing in
this endeavored to fasten disgrace upon
those who refused to transform the
asylum into place OF refuge for indi-
gent politicians. We are all familiar
with the extraordinary efforts of the
gubernatorial gang to accomplish this
end and the failure which attended
those efforts. The investigation de-
yeloped nothing and had the enquiry
been before an honorable jury such a
baiy would have acquitted, without
consultation, upon the evidence pre-
sented. Still the unproven charges are
insisted upon by the Argus Leader,
which IN its pa.tisan zeal indelges in
libeious assertions sufficient to entitle
it to the opportunity to show before q
jury that it has either lied or printed
the truth. Coupled with it's reitera-
tion of untruthful alleRa-
tions is further appeal
to the uaintimidated members of the
board of trustees to resign--ap appeal
in the form of q menace-and menace
which states In substance that unless
they resign the addition to the asylum
ordered by the legislature will not be
built. So then let it be. The people of
Yankton will not suffer from this. The
unfortunates of south Dakota will be the
victims. There is further threat that
the asylum will be moved from Yankton
by the next legislature if these trustees
do. not resign, the bulldozers assuming
that they are to dictate the policy of the
coming Legislature. Granting that they
have the power to do this, we say let
them move the. asylum, but let the prin-
ciple stand that no alien carpet bagger
can usurp the functions of body Of men
who owe their allegiance only to the leg
islatnre of Dakota, an organization Great
ed from the people and for the people
and who stand much nearer to the peo-
pie than those creatures of accident who
are sent here from the states clothed
with q little brief authority.
We are further given to understand
that if the last threat against the people
fails in effect upon the trustees the ad-
is to reopen the wounds of
the past, restore the antag-
onisms of capital days and array
the hosts, of Dakota against
Yankton. The "Yankton ring" is to.
blossom as Of yore (in the minds of the
promoters OF this scheme) and is to be
once more held up as hideous spectre
to appall the popuiaae. The CORY locks
of this spook OF imagination are to be
shaken before the trustees end in the
presence of the sanguinary spectacle
they are again to be invited to resign.
The plot has its counserplot IN the good
sense OF the people and it will fail be.
cause it deserves to fail. Mesnwhile the
insane asylum is being ably conducted,
its inmates are happy and ito affairs are
honestly administered. The row is all
on the outside. 1t was instituted by a
few democrats who want the places In
the asylum and is fostered and managed
by the governor between drinks.

ASYLUM EXTENSION.

Comments by Territorial Newspapers
upon the Governors Coarse.
st. Paul Pioneer PIees, Dakota de-
partment; The governor has not yet
approved the plans for the Yankton in.
sane hospital. We can see how he
might be introduced 10 hesitate in view
Of the report OF the public examiner, but
his duty in the premises is quite clear.
The law provides for enIarging the
hospital, and the law should be obeyed.
The violation of duty AZ the violation OF
technical provision of1aw by the trus-
tees does not Justify the wholesale
violation of O whole statute by those
charged with its execution. The
necessities of the territory demand the
enlargement OF the hospital. The legis-
lature so determined, and created the ma.
chinery for carrying that determination
into effect. Ii the trustees have been
guilty OF misapprcprIation of the pub
lie funds the statute provides way BY
which they can be punished and re-
moved, and a noncompliance with the
act OF the legislature can therefore find
no apology in the excuse that the pres
ent board cannot be trusted. Besides
this, the matter has now become ques-
ton ofveracity. The public examiner
affrms, the trustees deny. The man
ifestly fair and satisfactory way ont OF
the embroglio is for the examiner TO
prove his charges before the courts, or
else compel the trustees to clear their
skirts and yindieate themselves before q
jury OF their peers.

Sizing Up Lamar.

Ipresume Mr.. Lamar will be confirmed.
- be il no worse than many other appoint-
ments the President has been compelled to
make in the interests Of his party in the
South. Mr.. Lamar has been intimately
and prominently connected with politie al
affairs for nearly thirty years. He never
has been admitted to practice at the bar Of
the Supreme Court. He was only classi-
fed ~ q lawyer. never having ~,eriously en-
gagged in the practice Of the profession. In
Congress before the war he was the most
violent, t~ruculent and mxieyolent Of all The
secession leaders in his violent hostility 10
tie Union and his advocacy Of the consti-
nationality OF slavery and secession. Hav-
ing been the confidential friend Of JEFF
ferson Davis, and the diplomatic agent
of the C~onfederacy, at the close Of the
war he disappeared from public affairs and
became identified with q provincial
institution Of learning in Mississippi
as nominal professor Of law. II Is not
known that he ever appeared In court in
the interval between the death Of the Con-
federacy and his re- entrance into public
life, except to defend murderen and az.
sassins who were charged with violating
the election laws and overthrowing by
blood and riot the political rights Of the
freedmen OF the South. Mr.. Lamar en-.
tered the Senate as the beneficiary Of the
most brutal and inhuman conspiracy
which ever disgraced humanity. It was
subsequently known as the Mississippi
plan, and was the invention Of his quondam
colleague, the present Senator, Mr..
George. Mr.. Lamar's political sincerity
10 illustrated by his declaration in the
Senate that Jefferson Davis would occupy
"a nj he in history by the side Of John
Hampden and George Washington, and
his intellectual dexterity il evident by his
sulog Of Charles Sumner in the North
and John G. Calhoun in the South. He

gcrous in the present, and ominous in the

black lace covering them dropping in

girl or seamstress, however, instead of
the mantilla, prefers acrimsOn or deep
yellow silk handkerchief. that suits to
perfection her skin, jetty locks and
glorious orbs. Probably their eyes be-
come trained by the constant contem-
platiOn of vivid colors in mountain and
sky, for even in such slight matters as
the selection Of a flower to place in the
hair, or the choice of a stocking to
match the petticoat, the Spanish lass
never errs on the score Of harmony.
The peasant, too, is no less romantic
than artistic. In dress, department

foot, his appearance is characteristic.
His wooden cap is in reality shaped like
the leg of a stocking-happily he does
not stiffen OF distend it to its full-length
capacity, for the effect would be too gro
tesque for even his Unborn gravity; the
lavish superfluity he draws forward and
folding il in a scroll over the forehead,
it not only shades the eyes, but is most
becoming. 1t is generally red, and
thus not altogether unlike the Phrsgian
cap; old men, however, often choose a
dark brown, purple, or gray color.
His short Jacket is of black or blue
velveteen, with clusters of tiny silver
filigree buttons; he wears knee
breeches, knitted hose, and around his
waist a red sash no less than five yards
in length. To put this on he lets it
trail on the ground, and winds himself
into it by turning round and round.
In the folds of this scarf he carries a
clasp-knife of singular shape, presume
bly, of Moorish origin, and peculiar to
Catalonia. The blade is from five to
seven inches in length, and lying it fiat
in the right hand palm, with the point
touching the tip of the two forefingers,

The Minister'S Reason for Borrowing.

Inc Minister'S Reason for Borrowing.
Peter Brooks maxim wa that the
whole value of wealth consists in the
personal independence it ure A
New York merchant named Porter had
a clerical friend between whom and
himself existed great intimacy. Every
Saturday night Q note would come to
Porter from the preacher, requesting
the loan of q five-dollar bill. The
money was always restored punctually
at 8 o'clock on the ensuing Monday
morning. But what puzzled Porter was
the fact that the money returned was
always the identical money that was
borrowed.
One Saturday evening Porter sent q
Rve-dollar gold piece instead Of q note
and marked it. Still the very same
coin was returned on Monday. Porter
became and bilious over it; he
could hardly sleep at night for think
ing about it. He would wake his wife
in the middle of the night and ask her
what she thought about the strange
thing. He was fast boiling wei with
curiosity, when . note came from the
reverend borrower one Christmas eve,
asking for ten dollars.
A bright thought now struck him.
He put on his ~overcoat, resolved to
call and demand q n explanation of the
mystery. When shown into his friends
study he found him plunged into the
profoundest melancholy.
"Mr. b." said he, IF you will answer
me one question, I will let you have
that money. How does it happen that
you always pay me the money you
borrow on Saturday night in the very
same coin or note on Monday night 2"
The preacher raised his head, and
after q violent internal struggle, as
though he were about to unveil his
souls most boarded mystery, said in
faltering tones:
"Porter, you are o gentleman, q
Christian. and q New Yorker. know

Breaking the Solid south.

The party status to be developed BY the
message may be defined AZ follows: The
Republicans will tacitly evade or avoid tho
negro alliance in Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, and Alabama. They will prac.
tically eliminate the negro from politics,
and on this line Of action will strike out to
capture the white vote pronouncedly op-
posed to the Presidents theories. They
will proceed after this method for two
reascns. First, they have no cause to
expect = change in the visible negro vote
y It be true, 40 they allege, that no matter
how cast 1t Is never counted, save to one
end; Next, should the Republican party
be able to enlist tina local support OF the
whites 10 n considerable extent, these
would Of themselves demand the free
vote and fair count Of the ballots Of the
negroes.
1t may be thus readily perceived that the
Republicans would not count it q loss 10
suspend their traditional sympathy with
the negro for their own and the negros
good. That this movement will be made
~ b Republicans there can be no doubt.
1.-THE Democratic masses of the Union
will repudiate Mr.. Cleveland's theories.
They reflect the peculiar conditions Of New
York City, whose interests demand free
trade. They are opposed to the
overmastering interests Of the peo-
pie OF the interior. The course
OF the President will d~isorganize
the Democracy, and for the reasons stated
it will revolutionize the policy Of fhe Re-
publican party in the South. The decisions
Of the Supreme Court on the Virginia bond
case. the Kansas prohibition case, and the
Illinois anarchist cases have intellectually
affected the Southern people. These de-
cininna haxa aafnhlished thu thaorv ~ Stato
rights, and they emanAse from . Repub.
lican court. These facts. taken in con-
junction, win be all the more decisive of q
disruption Of party discipline, and all the
more conducive to . full and free discus
sion BY the people Of the great paramount
questions Of the day.-Birmtn0ham (Ala.)
